The 2018 farm bill is currently going to ban
convicted felons with a drug record from
participating in the hemp industry.

This is going to be interesting.

When Wal-Mart places a huge order to fill
all their stores, is the law not going to allow
them too? As their are plenty of drug convicted
felons that work for Walmart.

Mary at checkout sells cbd gummies, Mary is a
convicted drug offender, Mary gets busted as
she sold to a cop, poor Mary, she has 3 kids took
take care of, she now has to take a day off to go
to court and miss a full minimum wage 8 hour day
of work. Mary goes to court, hmm, gee Mary you
sold a undercover cop a bag of cbd gummy bears.
Shame on you, you have a past drug conviction, you
shouldn't be selling a now legal product (after
farm bill passes). Oh, what's that Mary you're on
probation?

Whats the consequences? Mary violates probation,
goes back to jail now facing to do whatever time she
has left. Mary loses her job, apartment and kids
possibly? Wal-Mart gets fined?

This ban makes no sense at all. Most companies
won't even be able to sell cbd as most companies
hire convicted drug felons. Making hemp legal is
a major step forward, banning convicted drug felons
is moving backwards.

Please make some noise on this ban because it
needs to be taken out the 2018 farm bill!﻿

Mueller has already obtained guilty pleas from Manafort, to state crimes. No trials needed, all Mueller has to do is hand him over to the several states he has already plead guilty . Manafort will then do hard state time. Worse yet, Mueller stripped him of all cash and assets so no commissary unless he can find a way to earn some cash. Hope this traitor has a nice life.

Manafort has already plead guilty to a number of state charges so no presidential pardon will help him now. Worse yet is that now that Mueller has stripped him of his last dime, he doesn't want to challenge Mueller because if he wins things only get worse for him. He really doesn't want to wind up in a state prison where the staff is much less professional than Federal prison and the staff has wider digression when dealing with residents.

He'll give a strong message all right, unfortunately it won't be a good one. His actions so far have sent the strongest messages there is. He favors money and business over fairness and justice. So anyone looking for statesmanship can just forget it. It's time for some peuril slime filled cash-on-barrelhead calculations. While such messages are useless on politics this chump knows nothing about politics, he is a simple gold digger who can be easily tricked out of everything he has by a strong leader. Senor Putin comes to mind.

Every day he spends in office will have a significant and detrimental cost.

Looks like his goose is cooked, Mueller also had him plead guilty to a number of state charges which the President cannot pardon him for. That means he's much better off not contesting Mueller's claims or he will wind up doing time in a state prison. They are much less comfortable than Federal lock ups I'm told because they deal with less brainy people who have committed much cruder crimes. The staffing is less professional and have much more latitude when dealing with inmates. In short it's a match made in hell. Even worse he has no money to mitigate his position as a begger. Oy Vey.
